I want to buy a new slimline digital camera with a large viewfinder. I currently have an Olympus 400? which has a very small viewfinder, complex controls and a shutter which still does not function fast enough when required.
I am no expert and would like some recommendations. Possibly a Casio EXlim Z750???

The sony credit-card job is very nice, has a sliding "bar" lens cover. No idea about a "large viewfinder" though.

I bought this one last week Canon Digital IXUS 750

Very impressed so far.

sony T1 or I think the new version is T3. Both very good camers and have excellent large view finder.

Ive got a Casio Exilim and its small, slim and very well built - but video can only be recorded in 320x240 which is a bit crap.

Canon Ixus arent bad, but the newer ones have a horribly cheap looking bit of plastic for the battery cover and also seem to perform poorly in low light conditions - far worse than the Exilim I use.

Sony ones are good, but the slimest dont have any optical zoom.

Hmm, mine's plastic...but it looks like metal and has a nice spring loaded action. Not at all horrible.

Yes, DSC-T1 is what I meant.

Another vote for the Casio! Excellent picture quality, 7.2mp I think

Bought this camera, being a typical bloke it had to be small enough to fit in my pocket otherwise it wouldnt come out with me. This does!

Nice big screen, idiot proof (I can use it), decent lense etc, also has the slim line battery that lasts a lot longer than the normal batteries.
